Last night was my first game in 2 years, and my first opportunity to see the new Hornets. They aren't a playoff team w a healthy and productive Gordon. I see the potential for the future, but this year no way.

As someone who saw Gordon play live last year, I can tell you this isn't 100% accurate. Gordon is that type of player that could lead this team to the playoffs this year if he were healthy. Not saying he would, but he gives them a legit shot at making it.

If you watched the way James Harden opened the floor when we played the hornets, that's exactly what Gordon will do. He has talent around him and we could add another piece next year. This team will good in 2 years if everyone is healthy. :Gordon:

Agreed.

I'm not saying we even make it to the second round with gordon, but I'd be confident in a playoff berth.

Even with a healthy Gordon, the Hornets are the worst team in their division this year. If y'all believe they can be 5th in the division and still get the 48+ wins to reach the playoffs, more power to you.

The future does look good. Davis is 20, Gordon 23, Anderson 24. All are locked up. They have some good pieces around them now, but they need time to season and they need some more talent/shooting in the backcourt and on the wing.
